Morning "DOUBLE SUN," rested his admission of the charge on the pro priety of ascertaining her character for veracity ; but it had been proved that she had been insulted, and proved that the Policemen were liars ; and, supposing that she were an adulteress, that was no excuse for their charging her with it in the street, and in addition, charg ing her falsely with having been imprisoned, and otherwise insulting her. Sir FREDERICK had no busi ness whatever to enter into the investigation ; and no man's, and still less no woman's, character can be safe, if, when he or she go before a Police Magistrate to claim redress for an assault, the party charged with that offence may be at liberty at once, without any warning, to bring forward an accusation which the accuser may have no momentary means of rebutting. The case is still more glaring and more mischievous, however, when the persons committing the assault are Policemen, bound to protect the public, and their witnesses are brother Policemen, and the person insulted a female of the humbler classes. If any lounger in Regent-street had insulted Lady ROE in a similar manner—if there be a Lady ROE—and Sir FREDERICK had properly sum moned the insulter to Marlborough-street to an swer to the charge ; and then the insulter, after being convicted of lying, had charged her Lady ship with going to a brothel, and had produced several of his brother-loungers to prove—to use POPE'S phrase—that she had been " whored," the Marlborough-street Magistrate would have scouted the scandalous attempt with great and becoming in dignation, as grievously adding to the injury already inflicted on the lady. He would at once have said, he would not inquire into a charge of adultery against Lady ROE, in order to establish her charac ter for veracity. We want to know why Sir FREDE RICK did not mete out that measure to others he would have insisted on having meted out to himself. The answer probably will be, that Sir FREDERICK'S wife is a lady. For our part, though it be an old-fashioned gallantry, we desire to see all women treated as ladies, THE CONTAINING BEAUTIFUL MEDALLION PORTRAITS OF MARSHAL SOULT AND THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, IN THE SAME STYLE AS THAT OF HER MAJESTY IN THE GOLDEN CORONATION SUN," IS NOW PUBLISHING, AND MAY BE HAD OF ALL NEWSMEN BOTH IN TOWN AND COUNTRY. * * EACH PORTRAIT IS WORTH AT LEAST ONE GUINEA.

LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18. 1835 We refer our readers to another part of The Sun, for a Report of the proceedings which took place at the great meeting of the working classes held at Man chester on Thursday evening. The object of the meeting was twofold—first, to keep up the remem brance of the horrible butchery of the people, in 1819, by the Tory Magistrates of that day ; and, secondly, to further the cause of Reform, by adopt ing measures to secure Universal Suffrage, An nual Parliaments, and Vote by Ballot. In both these objects we heartily concur. If ever the men of Manchester forget the inhuman massacre of their fellow-citizens, perpetrated on the 16th of August, 1819, may their " right hands forget their cunning." Let them hold tl at day and its deeds in everlasting re membrance, not for the purpose of nursing plans of moody revenge against the perpetrators of the atrocity— that thought we know is the farthest possible from their minds—but to stimulate their exertions in the same great cause, for advocating which their fathers, brothers, and sons, fell the victims of a bloodthirsty, liberty-hating faction. On the three cardinal points of Reform which we have mentioned, we have so often declared our opinions, that we deem it quite unnecessary to discuss them at present. They are part and parcel of the rights of the people, and, therefore, the people do well in striv ing to obtain them ; provided, in their endea yours to gain a good object, they resort only to good means.. Union is undoubtedly the first thing to be looked to, for without it every plan that can be formel will prove utterly futile. But if we rightly understand that it is intended to unite for the purpose of a universal and simultaneous cessation from work among the industrious classes, until they can bring their political opponents to terms, we not only think this a most absurd and impracticable scheme, but enter our solemn protest against it, as one which, were it capable of realization, would bring swift and certain ruin on the working classes themselves. An investigation yesterday took place at Bow street, before Sir F. ROE, Mr. TWYFORD, and Mr. FARRANT, into the conduct of HENRY GRISS and JAMES SELWAY, two Police Sergeants of the F Di vision, to which we think it desirable to direct public attention. It appears, by the report, that a married woman, of the name of PoULTER, accompanied by her husband, to whom she had made a complaint, charged the two policemen with having, on Sunday week, grossly in suited her. Besides pulling her shawl, they accused her of having been taken up for cat-stealing, and re flected on her chastity. It was proved that she had never been taken up, and it was also proved by the Superintendent of Police, and the evidence of the Policemen themselves, that they had neglected their duty ; that they had been together where they ought not to have been ; and that they told a falsehood, by declaring that they were not near the spot. By their subsequent defence, grounded on an itnputa tion against her character, they tacitly admitted the charge of insult and assault. Having been con victed of neglect of duty, and of telling a lie, they turned round and attempted to excuse the assault by asserting that the complainant was a woman of a light character. We should have supposed that her character had nothing to do with the Policemen insulting her, but Sir F. ROE thought otherwise, and he said to them, " If you have any witnesses to prove that she is an improper character, and unworthy of credit, you may call them." Thereupon these constables, who had both insulted the woman and told lies, called some other constables, and endeavoured to substantiat e against Mrs. POUL TER a charge of adultery. Th ey did not bring evidence that she was a street-walker or guilty of public and notorious improprieties, but, knowing her to be a married woman, that she had formed an adulterous connection with another con stable. It turned .out to be a mere tale of scandal, such as probably may be gathered at every corner, but, whether true or not, does not concern the point which we think worthy of public attention. We wish to ask what business the Police Magis trate had to go into any such investigation. If a charge of adultery had been brought before him on the part of her husband, he would have refused to investi gate it. But he did investigate such a charge when made by two Policemen that they might get rid of a charge against themselveF. Sir FREDERICK ROE and whatever may be their character or station, pro tected from the insults of loungers and of the Police. But Mrs. POULTER was the wife of a poor man, and therefore the Magistrate, to give the lying Policemen a chance of escape, went into the investigation of their charge of adultery. Now, though such distinctions and differences are habitually made between the classes, the upper classes still think themselves at liberty to abuse the humbler classes, because they do not always respect and love the law. In sulted, injured, trodden on, harassed, tortured, as it were, as they are, by idle gentlemen and meddling mi nions in authority, the poorer classes have too much reason to hate those who are called their betters, and nearly all those who arc invested with power. And what punishment did these men meet with for this treble offence—first the assault, then the lie, and then the scandalous charge? They were fined 205., or ten days' imprisonment. The insulter of Lady RoE, we take leave to suppose, would have had to expiate his offence by three months on the treadmill. The Lae Union for the defence of the Established Church, on the subject of the education of the poor, has just put forth a second address, in which the plan of placing all education in the hands of the Established Clergy, is, consistently with the existence of the Es talAishment, insisted on. We do not quarrel with that conclusion, as we think it one of the necessary consequences of an Establishment. To have and to pay an Established Clergy is to make them responsible for the moral teaching of the community, and we see no justice and no consistency in imposing that responsibility on them unless they are allowed to controul the education of the whole people. Tills necessary consequence of an established priesthood is, in our estimation, one of the most powerful arguments which can be brought against having an established priesthood. Consistently, how ever, with the great respect which the Lay Union has for the Church, it says, that " had the State remem bered its duty, and properly filled up the outline of a Church Establishment bequeathed to it by the piety of our ancestors, there would have been in all proba bility but little cause for complaint in the present day as to the want of popular education." The Lay Union, not content with the power and the wealth now enjoyed by the established priesthood, has been formed to add to that power and wealth, and it blames the State for not having before done so. The Manifesto of the Union has been recommended to notice by the Times, and is, therefore, independently of the paramount importance of the objects proposed, worthy of attention. It will at once occur to the opponents of the Lay Union that in those States where the outline of a Church Establishment has been carefully filled up, such as in Italy and Spain, the want of popular and useful education is far greater than here. It will also occur to them that amongst those sects in England, such as the Quakers, the Unitarians, the 'Methodists, and others who have no Established Church, the education of their people is far more carefully at tended to than the education of the congregations of the Established Priesthood. The Romanists, whose establishments have hitherto been most carefully pre served, as witness the Spanish, the Portuguese, and the Italian peasantry, are comparatively ignorant, un enlightened, and superstitious. The Friends, without either Priests or costly Churches, are amongst the best informed, most intelligent men of this intelligent and enlightened community. At the same time the con gregations of the Church of England, as witness the Canterbury fanatics, who supply a fair specimen of the whole, though they have the advantage of living in the neighbourhood of sects who are much im proved, are, next to the peasantry of Portugal and Spain, amongst the least informed portion of mankind. We have not space to-day to substantiate this state ment by extracts from the excellent " Report made to the Central Society of Education on the state of the Peasantry at Boughton, Herne-hill, &c.," by F. LIARDET, Esq., M.A., Barrister-at-law ; but the evi dence which it contains of the lamentable ignorance of the people in the immediate vicinity of Canterbury, many of them living on the estates of the Church, is melancholy and astounding. " The g reater part of Tirom's followers," say s th e R e p o rt, " believed him to be JESUS CHRIST, and considered that they were not only justified in obeying him as their LORD, but that disobedience would entail on them eternal damnation." Most of these followers of the Church could " read a little in the Testament," but not gene rally in any other book, and reading that under the direction of the Priesthood, their minds were ready to believe any assertions which corresponded to their limited and peculiar knowledge. But the fact that the humbler classes who compose the congregations of the State Church are little better informed than the peasantry of Portugal or Spain, and are lamentably ignorant as compared to the frequenters of the cha pel and the meeting-house, is too notorious to require much elucidation. Now, if such be the facts, what reason has the enlightened public, or on what reason can the State be justified in "fillip up the outline of the Establishment," and placing edu cation, more than at present, in the hands of the Clergy. In the present conflict of opinion, as to the influ ence of an Established Priesthood combined with scores of propositions, to increase their power, it can• not be too much insisted on that the Friends have no Priests, and that they are amongst the most religious and virtuous of the great family of mankind; while the Ro- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1838. manists generally, particularly where they are established, who, like the Episcopal Church of England, have a great multitude of Priests, are, according to their accusers of the Church, amongst the least virtuous and least dignified of all civilized men. In these facts—and they are very important—we see every reason why the Press of this country should oppose the efforts of the Lay Union, and of all the aiders and abettors of the Priesthood, in their present attempts to obtain increased wealth and power. pleadings were to commence on the morning after he com mitted the fatal deed, which is attributed to his despair at the receipt of a letter from a young lady to whom he was affianced in Belgium, stating that, even if he were acquitted, she could not consent to their union before she had perused all the legal documents connected with his case. The rash act is supposed to have been committed at an early hour in the morning. The evening before the unfortunate prisoner bad appeared in high spirits, and had played at cards till ten o'clock at night." " INSANITY.-A deplorable event lately took place at Che non, in the department of the Charente-Inferieure. M. A. Defacroix-Durepaire, aged 25, possessing a fortune of 30,000 francs a-year, had for a couple of years been deranged. His madness consisted in looking on every one as an enemy, and he was in constant fear either of poison or a violent death. In this state of mind he retired lately to a farm-house, where, however, he had not long resided when he became a prey to the same delusions, increased to an alarming degree ; a tree, a piece of furniture, a fowl, or a cat, seemed to him a mur derer, about to attack him. In one of his paroxysms he seized a lighted torch, and ran in all directions, setting fire to everything that came in his way, heedless of himself, and rush ing into the flames. A labourer having attempted to seize him, he took up a loaded gun, fired it, and broke the poor man's arm. The gendarmerie having arrived, he was taken to the prison of Saintes, where his mother has since' gone to attend him. The loss of property in buildings, puncheons of brandy, wheat, &c., which they contained, and which were all destroyed, is estimated at 50,000 fr. FRENCH FUNDS.--Pasts, AUGUST 16.

One of the hereditary legislators has all but ex hausted the alphabet in heaping epithets of abuse on Mr. O'CONNELL.

The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been re ceived, but their contents are not of much political interest. In one of the Ministerial papers we find an intimation, which may be regarded as semi-official, to the effect that France will not be satisfied with less than a formal vote of the Swiss Vorort for the expul sion of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE from the territory of the Republic. The National justly ridicules the petty malignity of the Government in turning the political influence of a powerful nation into an instrument for the persecution of an individual whose projects find no sympathy. " The son of the Duchess of ST. LETT," caustically observes that Jour nal, " may remai❑ for ever in his chateau of Arenen berg without compromising the tranquillity of France ; there will be no occasion for the appearance of the Gallic cock under the walls of Constance, to expel the offspring of the Imperial eagle." The truth is, that the French Government seeks the humiliation of the Swiss Diet, rather than the expulsion of any Citizen of the Republic—a fact which has not escaped the notice of the majority of the Swiss Deputies. Several of the French Journals appear to represent the advent of a war as nearer at hand than the majority of persons are disposed to believe. From the tenor of the following paragraph from the Courrier Francais of Thursday, it would seem that France has resolved not to be taken unawares : Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates have been received this morning. The following are extracts from them : COLOGNE, AUG. 12.—The last published number of the official Journal of the Government of Dusseldorff contains the following notice of 26th July last : " His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to acknowledge by the following Cabinet Order, of 3 Ist May, the good and conciliatory spirit shown by the Catholic and Pro testant inhabitants of Wernelskirehen, and in particular that of the Catholics, in giving to the Protestants the joint use of their church while their own was under repair : " You receive the annexed extract from the last report in the Journals of the Government of Dusseldorf, with directions to convey to the Catholics and Protestant inhabitants of Wernelskirchen an acknowledgment, in my name, of the good and conciliatory spirit which both have manifested, especially the former, by allowing the use of their church to the latter.' ( Signed) " FREDERICK WILLIAM. " To the Minister of State, Baron V. Altenstein. " BLrlin, May 31.' " FRANKFORT.—Exchange on London, 1501 ; Two Months, 150, Bills. —Frankfort Paper, Aug. 14. CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRI 4.—A programme of eight folio pages has been published of the Emperor's in tended entrance into Milan. Besides the usual suite on such occasions, eig,hty-three banner-bearers, of as many Imperial cities, will follow the Emperor's chariot. The procession ends at the Cathedral, from thence the members of it to go on foot to the Palace. On the day of homage-paying the ceremony will take place on the hill of Caryatides, where Count Inzachi will read the oaths in Italian. The Coronation itself is to be performed by the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice, and the Car dinal Archbishop of Milan. The latter anoints the Emperor, but the iron crown will be set upon his head by the Patriarch of Venice. The youngest Cardinal girds on the imperial sword, the elder hands the globe. The coronation procession will proceed from the Palace to the Cathedral, where the Em peror will be received by the two Archbishops and eighteen Bishops. The Emperor, with his crown and screptre, will walk back on foot to the Palace. The two Archbishops alone dine at the table of the Imperial family on that day. The heir to the Russian throne had reached Ems, and was to be in Milan by the sth of September. The Diario di Roma of the 4th inst. states that Cardinal Fransoni had consecrated Bishop of Poros, in partibus, the Rev. John Thomas Hynes, of Cork, the present coadjutor of tile Bishop of Zante and Cephalonia. The Leipsic Universal Gazette of the 11th inst. denies that the Emperor Nicholas had paid a visit to the King of Prussia, at Potsdam, on the 3d inst. The Queen of Naples was delivered on the Ist inst. of a Prince, who received the name of Louis Marie.

All the,e strong places, repaired since 1830, had hitherto remained on the strictest peace establishment, but of late much exertion and care have been used in augmenting their garrisons, and in placing their materiel on a respectable footing." The following official article, which appeared in the Auzsburg Gazette of the 12th instant, shows that in the opinion of the Great Northern Powers, the exer cise of a proper degree of firmne.3s and prudence is a dequate to the removal of every cause for such a ca lamity as that of a war in any part of Europe. We are precisely of the same opinion, as far as relates to the Hollando-Belgic, the Spanish, and the Turkish questions:— _ _ " The most important political questions, those. of Spain, Belgium, and Egypt, have arrived at a maturity which de mands a prompt and vigorous settlement, otherwise the tran quillity of Europe may be compromised. A month past circumstances occurred which show a perfect tact on the part of the Great Powers, as well as their firm desire to decide in a rapisl, but peaceful menuer, all those ques tions, which to the great injury of the people and the progress of civilization have but too long filled the entire world with disturbance. Without deceiving themselves as to their pawer, they believe that they can accomplish; by com mon consent, that which would •be impracticable to them singly. Spain alone is in a peculiar situation, and one does not know how to apply to this country the general rule. The Powers, it is said, have resolved to act in con cert and to settle, if possible, the difficulties which still oppose themselves to the settlement of the differences between Holland and Belgium, and to the establishment of peace between the Sultan and his Viceroy. It is hoped that the embassy to London will attain more easily its object, as the King of Holland shows himself animated by a spirit of conciliation, and appears disposed to treat with Belgium upon certain conditions. Thus there will be at last obtained a result long wishtd for. " But in order to make sure of the consent of the King of Holland, instead of judging of his views from vague indica tions, the Conservative powers have resolved to state their in tentions to the Cabinet of the Hague, and thus relieve it from all doubt as to their views ; and, on the other hand, the two maritime powers will give to the politics of the Belgium Go vernment such a direction that reconciliation between the two parties may be the consequence. After having obtained ex planation?, the powers will agree upon the means conducive to the desired end, and to the arrangement of the differences which, for six years, have distressed Europe. It is said that instructions to be expeditious have reached the Ambassadors of the great Powers at the Hague and at Brussels, who are to settle it with as little delay as possible, and then to send a re port to their respective Governments, as well as to the Confe rence in London. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY). TWELVE O'CLOCK. Arrivals this morning—a French mail and an arrival of ship letters from Bombay. In the afternoon of yesterday the British Market had a heavy appearance and Consols receded from the morning prices, 94i to 94 for the Account, and from 94 to 93/ 94, Money. This re-action in general is attributed to the still unsettled state of affairs between the Dutch and Belgians, as well as the French Government having given orders to put the fortresses on the side of Belgium in a warlike attitude. This has the ap pearance that the differences of Belgium will not be so soon adjusted as was at first anticipated. THE FUNDS.

It is reported that each of the great Cabinets has caused to be drawn up for its Consul residing in Egypt instructions conceived in this spirit, which are to be followed rigorously." From the north of Spain the only intelligence of any moment received in Paris on Thursday, consisted of the following despatch from General San MIGUEL to the Military Governor of Saragossa, dated Pableta, the 7th inst. : " After a march of six days, I have safely joined the Com mander-in-Chief and the army of reserve with the convoy under my orders. To-morrow I shall proceed on my march towards Morella, where I may probably arrive the day after. The enemy made a new attack against the blockading forces, but was repulsed with loss.

Essvc.—The morning of Monday last having proved pro pitious, harvest commenced generally in this county, with the exception of the more northern parts, and even there the corn is fast approaching to a state of maturity. During the week, wheat, barley, oats, and peas have been carted in good condition, and we shall not be surprised to learn that a sample of each is offered in our market this day. The weather, so favourable at the time we write, to the inning of the crop, is not less so to the harvestman, who experiences the refreshing breezes which the lateness of the season brings. —Chelmsford Chronicle. EARLY HARVEST. —A small quantity of barley, belonging to Mr. John M‘Kay, Kirktown of Durris, was cut on Monday last. The grain is of excellent quality, and is fully ripe.— Courant. Wheat of this year's harvest has already appeared in the corn market of Paris. The grain is large, and of good quality, but rather pale ; a peculiarity which the farmers attribute to the quantity of rain that fell between the period when it was in flower, and that of the ripening. HARVEST IN SCOTLAND Monday Mr. Fulton in Jameston, parish of Kirkoswald, on the property of the most noble the Marquis of Ailsa, com menced cutting barley : a good crop ; and on the same day a fiold of here was cut on the farm of Seafield, the property of Lord Ailsa, and possessed by Mr. Laurence Marshall. The grain is of excellent quality, is a new kind, and was introduced into this country only about two years since from Ireland. Also, on same day, a crop of good Italian barley was cut down in a field in Midsands, by Mr. Robert M‘Kill.—Ayr Observer. HARVEST IN IRELAND. For the last three days we have enjoyed beautiful weather, which has served greatly to improve the crops after the late unceasing rains, and to afford us a renewed prospect of an abundant harvest. The heat of the sun to-day is intense, and the hopes of the husbandman are in consequence considerably raised.—Limerick Standard. Yesterday, the weather was very propitious for the crops ; we had no rain, which has been a rarity for some weeks ; we hope dry weather may continue. Wheat has advanced in several of the English markets fully 7s. per quarter in the course of the last week. The ports become open for importation when wheat reaches 735. per quarter.—Belfast News Letter. The most awful anticipations were entertained by the farmers, during the last week, for the safety of the crops, in consequence of the late heavy falls of rain since Sunday ; however, we have experienced a complete and agreeable change.—Galway Paper. A stalk of wheat has been left at this office by a respectable farmer of Rathmullan, which measures seven feet and a half inch. The head is quite full. This remarkable instance of early vegetation is a good omen of a plentiful crop.---Down patrick Recorder. On account of the richness of the soil in this part of the country, the wheat crops are invariably heavy, and therefore they have suffered materially from the heavy falls of rain. Many a luxuriant and nearly ripened field is levelled, and the husbandman's complaint of mildew is heard in every direction. The oat crop has sustained less injury than that of wheat or barley,--Nenagh Guardian. UNDS.-CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH f FUNDS. Bank Stock 208 India Stock 5 per Cent. Red 94% Ditto Bonds ' 3 per Cent.

THE << SOULT AND WELLINGTON SUN." its dari n g 77 e Sf a z t tstandsepts ,and lm a o m r o e fgo its its C o ntemporaries ec achieve ments. a ttempts, has long been celebrated for the wonderful sra pidity of its movements—its early intelligence, and its las un sparing exerti o ns to pr o cure, and to circulate it. It now entered upon a ne w field of enterprise, and astonish es uessfui nci lio tr . the world by th e s pl en d our o f it s typ ogra phy, and by a union with it of some of the most splendid specimens of the en graving art that the world has yet seen. We have now before us both the Golden Sun—containing a beautiful pro file of her Majesty, and a most ample and interesting ac count of the Coronation, all printed in gold letters ; and also the Medallion Sun, which furnishes two most admira ble likenesses of the most distinguished warriors extant-- the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult. The b e auty" and accuracy of the engravings are re a lly s urprising, an d the rapid issues of the copies shows how universally they are admired. The likeness of the Duke of Wellington is striking in the extreme ; and so also we understand is that of the French General. These beautiful works of art ar! sold at the amazingly low price of one shilling each, an d we can scarcely conceive how they can be sold at such 3 price. We hope the publishers, however, will not be lose rs by the speculation. The Sun is a very deserving paper. -- Dublin Statesman. THE " MEDALLION SUN."— We have been kindly favoure d with a copy of The Sun of the sth inst., in which are por traits of the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult. The engravings are most beautiful, reflecting the greate4t credit on the artist, and the spirited proprietor of the Newspaper. Besides Memoirs of the heroes, there is also a n Ode t° Genius, by the talented Editor, Murdo Young, Esq.- - Newry Commercial Telegraph. " THE SUN" NEWSPAPER.—In addition to the " g olden publication of The Sun, on the day of the Coronation, and a splendidly-executed Medallion-portrait of the Queen, the enterprising Proprietor of that Journal has given with his paper of August sth, two other portraits, in the same style and of the same size of the Queen's, viz.—the Duke Wel lington and the Duke Dalmatia. Although printed with the newspaper, as specimens of art and correct likenesse s they are worthy of being classed with the most expensive style of engraving, and will become valuable additions to the album of the lady or the portfolio of the collector of prints. —Stockport Advertiser. " THE SUN" NEWSPAPER.—Many of our readers have seen the extraordinary " Golden Sun," with the beautifully executed medallion engraving of the Queen. We have now lying before us, another astonishing effort by Mr' Young, in another Sun newspaper, with two fin e medallions of Soult and Wellington, the same size, and executed in the same manner as that of the Queen. The paper all contains memoirs of the two great heroes of the a ge, a° is altogether a wonderful production. We doubt not that 100,000 copies will be readily sold.—Nottinghani Review'. THE ARTS.—NEWSPAPER IMPROVEMENT.—The spl rited Proprietor of The Sun, Mr. Murdo Young, w hose beautiful edition of the " Golden Sun" with the medallion of her Majesty, lately excited the admiration of all classes' has just obtained another victory in Newspaper printing' The last Number of his excellent Journal contains two medallion heads of Marshal Soult and the Duke of Wel lington, exquisitely executed ; illustrated with some o rigin d; and entertaining poetry fro m th e p en o f t hi s patr i o ti c an public spirited gentleman.—Wexford Independent. • of " THE SUN" NEWSPAPER.—Th e s pi r it e d enter p r ise Mr. Young, the proprietor of The Sun, is constantly kept in action for the public gratification. His swift expresses, by which the latest information is extended in the shortest possible time throughout the United Kingdom, are now s° well known as to be proverbial. He it was who led the van in this respect, and he has been since followed by hi s brethren of the Press, until " expressing" became a me re every day occurrence with them. Then we had a r arity in the shape of a gold-printed copy of The Sun, with a splendid portrait of the Queen, and giving an account of the Coronation. Now we are furnished with a doubl e Sun, containing very excellent portraits of those two dis tinguished warriors, Wellington and Soult, with memon ls of each. Such exertions as Mr. Young has ma nifeste d, merit a liboral reward at the hands of th e public, which, are happy to say they seem dispo se d t o b es t o w, as we observe that the Golden Sun has al rea dy gone through' thirty-seven editions.—Aylesbury News. THE SUN."—WC have been favoured with c opies df The Sun's two Numbers, containing profiles of the Queen' the Duke of Wellington, arid Marshal Soult. The letter: press of two pages in each number is pri n t e d in gold, an a the engraving of the medallion profiles is executed in a L . style of the art, of recent invention, th e peculiarity (? 1 . which is its admirable imitation of relief. So happilY this fine effect produced that the delusion to the eye 1 only corrected by the touch. The Newspaper Press nev er accomplished anything so beautiful before, and the well'' known enterprise of our Contemporary could not have been better directed than to the production of so elegant a me morial of the Coronation, and so handsome a tribute to the bravery of Wellington and Soult. We may also take th is opportunity of acknowledging the obligations we are under, to The Sun for his evening Parliamentary reports during the present and past sessions, which have almost uniformly en' abled us in our Thursday's paper to anticipate a large pa' tion of the Monday's debates that reached us in the nit nary course on ly t wo h ours b e f ore we wen t t o P ress , a° which, but for the valuable assistance of our ContemporarY , ,, must have been regu l ar ly p os t pone d till our pu bli ca tion eL next Monday.
